Dinah Washington - The Best in Blues (For Europeans Only #12)

Here's a great supplement to the Mercury 1940s session - the Verve Elite CD of Dinah Washington's album "The Best in Blues", which compiles a Keystone Session with various Mercury sessions - stylistically, it fits very well with the "Blues, Boogie, & Bop" box!Sidemen include Arnett Cobb, Paul Quinichette and Ben Webster on tenor, Wynton Kelly on piano, Jimmy Cobb on drums, and of course the great Lionel Hampton!

I'm using winrar - with old music, if you use VBR 192-320 kbs, the files often end up being at 192 for most of the time - I guess that is similar with what happens when packing the MP3s up in .rar-files - they just compress to a smaller file, as there seems to be a smaller amount of data (at least that's how I explain it to myself).If I encode newer music, the .rar-files will end up at some 95% of the original MP3 files, too... no magic involved!
